Description: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation
(OPRE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing data collection
activity as part of the Parents and Children Together (PACT)
Evaluation. The objective of the PACT evaluation is to document and
provide initial assessment of selected Responsible Fatherhood and
Healthy Marriage grant programs that were authorized under the 2010
Claims Resolution Act. This information will be critical to informing
decisions related to future investments in programming as well as the
design and operation of such services.
PACT is utilizing three major, interrelated evaluation strategies:
Impact evaluation; implementation evaluation; and qualitative
evaluation. To collect data for these strategies, eighteen instruments
have been approved to-date. This 30-Day Federal Register Notice covers
two new instruments:
(19) Follow-up Survey (for Responsible Fatherhood study participants)
(20) Follow-up Survey (for Healthy Marriage study participants)
A more thorough description of the study and instruments was
provided in a 60 Day Federal Register Notice posted in Vol. 78, No.
